Golarion
Absalom Reckoning
Scope
The motivation behind building Golarion
Setting of our Pathfinder campaign. Loss, tragedies and violence are everywhere, but so are happiness, laughter and fantastical beings.
The goal of the project
Eventually, i hope for this to be a wiki for our campaign. As complete as possible, with reports of events, characters, myths and more for everyone (especially my players) to explore and create with me.
Golarion's Unique Selling point
As game master, i may be the face of the NPCs and voice of the world, but i am not the sole author of what happens and what can be explored in this world. Come and see what wonders you might find.
Theme
Genre
The characters are heroes. But perhaps not the only ones. Although a very important part of the world, the history continues in every place, not only the one the group is in.
Magic is powerful and can help everyday live more more. A small few creations using gunpowder may exist, but probably it is magic given another, yet to be fully understood form.
Fantastical beasts are not only from a time long lost and magic wielders are seen everywhere, although quite rare.
Sword and Sorcery/ classic (high) fantasy
Reader Experience
Great threats seek to destroy, others search to maintain. A world full of wonders and magical mysteries waiting to be discovered but there will always be someone, or something, trying use those mysteries for itself, changing the world as you know it in the process. Will you withstand those influences, fighting for a greater good, or will you succumb to the pressure, spreading the influence of dark powers? The choice is yours.
Reader Tone
Nearly everyone has seen what magic can do to help, heal or fascinate. Fewer have seen what it can do to destroy. Very few have witnessed the horror of a walking skeleton
Character Agency
Heroes have achieved great things in this world in the past and will save nations in the future. But beware, your nemesis may have other people, other "heroes" fighting in his name, slaughtering kings or helping bring down even the mightiest of foes.
